Domination. Gallatin was never in this one. Owen will make some noise in the region.

4-0 against Gallatin is impressive. I know Williams is big but is size the reason they have had such good success against Gallatin? What type of size do the others in their rotation have?

The quintessential "bad matchup" for the Wildcats.

Was not even in this one? Really?? What game was you watching??? Owen only outscored us in the 1st quarter but it just happened to be by a few more points than we could recover from! So.....one bad quarter killed us. Both teams played hard in this one and yes Gallatin was in this the last 3 quarters at least.

[JohnsonQ]

Williams is 6'7 vs Brown 6'

Shelton is 6' 4 vs Z Brown 6'

Osborne 6'3 vs Mogan 5 10

Ball 6'1 vs Ingram 5 '8

Ripey 5 11 vs Davis 5 8

Gallatin couldn't get a rebound. Owen shot until they made it.

[JohnsonQ]

I'm not questioning anyone's effort or talent. Gallatin has a nice team and played hard, but they fell behind by double digits in the first quarter and rarely cut it to single digits. Owen was the better team tonight.

Good win for the Rebels tonight. They seem to be playing some good team ball. The match up with Gallatin is always an exciting game. Congrats to all those making the All Tournament Team.

The quintessential "bad matchup" for the Wildcats.

 

Gallatin County has only lost 8 games this year with 4 of those to Owen County. As they say, it is hard to beat a team 3 times and Coach Duvall and his team should be congratulated for beating a good, well coached team 4 times. Good luck to both teams in the Regional Tournament.
